On April 23, 2020, the Centre for Cultural Studies (KU Leuven) and STUK House for Dance, Image & Sound are hosting their fifth annual symposium on choreographic issues. This year’s theme is: Differing bodyminds: Moving along New Pathways. The event brings together speakers from different theoretical fields with dance scholars, practitioners and an interested audience to think about issues that are situated at the border between dance and society.

Karin de Fleyt is our new research group coordinator. Welcome, Karin!

CORPoREAL Becomes Partner in a New Research Network for Dance Studies!

Proposals for individual papers, lecture recitals, panels or posters should be submitted by 8 March 2020 to musicandbody2020@kug.ac.at. 

Art photographer Barbara Vandendriessche made portraits of 'The Experts', the young participants of the first non-scripted theatre performance that Bob Selderslaghs created as part of his doctoral project MoE 2.0. In 'The Experts in the Picture' Barbara and Bob give an insight into the 'seriousness of playing' by means of photos and quotes: a small photo exhibition that you can visit free of charge from 28 September onwards in the entrance hall of the White Hall of the Royal Conservatoire in Antwerp.

The Royal Conservatoire gives two of our CORPoREAL-artists/researchers permission to start a PhD. Luc Nijs is a philosopher, musicologist and musician and with 'KIMUPE - KineMusical Performance - An artistic journey into creative multimodal improvisation' he investigates whether movement can become a basis for developing creative improvisation skills and a personal musical language. He will receive a doctoral grant for this research. In addition, clarinettist, composer and psychologist Jo Stijnen will start the doctoral project 'Authentic creativity as a catalyst for the development of a powerful artistic learning environment'. We wish them both the best of luck!

The PhDs in the Arts are organised in collaboration with ARIA, the Antwerp Research Institute for the Arts.
